Here’s a simple and delicious way to cook potatoes and onions — perfect as a side dish 🥔🧅.
Ingredients (serves 2–4)
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled or unpeeled, cut into cubes or thin slices
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2–3 tbsp olive oil or butter
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- ½ tsp paprika or garlic powder (optional)
- Fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, or rosemary) for garnish
Instructions
1. Prep
- Wash and cut potatoes into evenly sized pieces for even cooking.
- Slice the onion into rings or half-moons.
2. Cook on stove
- Heat oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add potatoes and cook 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add onions, salt, pepper, and optional spices.
- Continue cooking 10–15 minutes until potatoes are tender and golden brown, and onions are caramelized.
3. Bake option
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Toss potatoes and onions with oil, salt, pepper, and herbs.
- Spread on a baking sheet and roast 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden and tender.
4. Serve
- Garnish with fresh herbs.
- Serve as a side with eggs, meat, or chicken.
💡 Tips
- For extra flavor, add minced garlic during the last 2–3 minutes of cooking.
- You can also sprinkle grated Parmesan before serving for a cheesy twist.
- For a crispier texture, soak potato slices in water for 10 minutes, then pat dry before cooking.
I can also give you a one-pan skillet version with bacon that’s extra savory.
